PicoLog crashes inevitably after some hundred samples at 1 sample/s. It simply freezes and stops logging. My hardware is

Serial TC-08
Apple MacBook with Win XP Pro SP2 (running boot camp)
VScom USB-2COM (USB to 2 RS232 ports adapter)

I've tried both R5.16.2 and R5.17.1 with no luck. With my desktop PC I have no trouble running R5.16.2.

Anyone with similar problems?

Hi and thank you for your post.

Could you send me your plw file so I can try and recreate your problem.
1) Did you have the graph view or spreadsheet open when doing the tests?
2 )After how long did it crash?
3) Is it repeatable?

Kind regards

Thanks for your reply Zico. I've sent you a pm with the plw file and answers to your questions.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem, and also latest with the version 5.18. Is there an answer/solution to the problem?

The error occurs only when recording to a file. It doesn't matter if it is a local drive or not. The program crashes after a few or many samples, but it will at some time crash. Sample rate doesn't matter.

I am using Windows XP Prof. with latest updates. It used to work but not any longer.

Regards
Finn

Hi,
it looks like the version 5.14 is stable and do not suffer from the crash problem.

Regards
Finn

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem too.

I tried: Version 5.16.2, 5.17.1, and 5.18.0
OS: Windows XP Professional, 5.1.2600, SP2

I always get a crash sometime after I started the data recording.

If Version 5.14 works, could Pico makes it downloadable?

Thanks a lot.
